''Cissus sicyoides'', also known as Princess vine, Millionaire vine and Curtain Ivy, is evergreen perennial vine in the Vitaceae (Grapevine) family. == Medicinal uses == Historical medicinal recommendations include "weakness of the stomach", fevers and antiepileptic action. The root bark was also chewed "to strenghten teeth". The modern ethnopharmacological usages come from Brazil and include: antipyretic (the herb in Brazilian ethnomedicine) and anti-inflammatory applications; against epilepsy (or at least as an anticonvulsive); externally: in haemorrhage and abscesses.〔 The following historical medicinal recommendations have been confirmed: gastroprotective, antihaemorrhagic (styptic), anti-inflammatory and antiepileptic. Antihaemorhagic and antiepileptic usages are recorded in local ethnomedicine of Brazil. Plant parts used were: the roots or their bark (European pharmacy inspired by American ethnopharmacy), leaves and juice of the herb (19th century, Haiti) and aerial parts of the plant (20—21th-century ethnomedicine of Brazil). Published histochemical studies of ''Cissus verticillata'' entitle us to suspect that the medicinal actions of roots and herb are similar. Cissus verticillata returned to pharmacy in the late 1990’s. In 2004, an aqueous extract from this plant was found to have hypoglycemic and anti-lipemic effects in rats. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cissus sicyoides」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
